Toybank sets up 'Play centers', which are spaces in which socio-economically
disadvantaged children can play with educational toys and games. Our other activity
is to have toy distribution programmes. We currently have over 285 play centers across
the state of Maharashtra.

There are scientifically-proven benefits of play- an improvement in the childâ€™s
social and emotional skills, life skills, motor skills and language skills. Moreover,
play has the obvious benefit of making the child happier. For this reason, we believe
that play is the childâ€™s right.

What is Sensitisation?

Sensitization is a subtle awareness creating exercise carried out by our team of
experts. The basic principle of Toybank is explained to a consenting group of children/
decision makers in delicate manner.

I was delighted to be introduced to Toybank about 10 years ago. Led by the inspirational and infectious Shweta, I was so impressed with her vision and drive to connect with less fortunate children through play, games and toys. I was delighted to support Shweta and have remained in touch ever since.

Toybank's goal is simple yet so difficult to achieve. Every child should have the opportunity to play with games and toys and to learn from that experience. I am incredibly proud to have played a very small part in Shweta's vision and look forward to remaining close to Toybank.
